No one wants to watch Milan even for free.

The collapse of Serie A ratings in Italy continues. Compared to last season, in the first 14 matches on Dazn there was a drop of 12 million viewers. Even the Coppa Italia, broadcast free to air on Mediaset networks, does not seem to generate interest: the match between AC Milan and Sassuolo, which ended 6-1 for the Rossoneri, recorded one of the lowest TV ratings in the last ten years, with a share of 8.9% (1,850,000 contacts on average).

This is one of these matchdays where I'd expect our rivals to drop points.

Atalanta - Milan
Gobbi - Bologna
Napoli - Lazio

Would've been amazing if Lazio manages to snatch a win in Stadio Maradona, but I don't have much hopes on it, they tend to open legs when it matters the most, kind of similar to another useless team Torino.

Atalanta has a difficult match against Milan. A draw would've been nice in this one, while Gobbi is very unpredictable. I wouldn't be surprised if they fail to win again, but Bologna isn't the same team anymore since Motta's departure. They're back to default though.

Lazio won Napoli but Napoli played with their bench (fucken loser Conte :D)

Bologna is unfortunately missing Orsloni who's been on fire lately.

Atalanta-Milan will be very interesting. I really don't know what to hope, maybe that draw you mentioned? Would be less points added to our rivals compared to either one getting 3 (although Milan is a bit behind).

Lazio's win over Napoli in Coppa doesn't impress me a bit. Let's see if they could pull a miracle and win away in Stadio Maradona in weekend. That's the real deal though.

I'm not too worried about Atalanta or Milan, but certainly Atalanta's win could be a bigger threat in a long shot, because they don't have coaching issues as Milan does, and also they aren't stacked with a bunch of drama queens. There's a strict discipline in their group and it's working pretty well consdering how often they've sold their key players, but still remained competitive.

he can't play in italy, which means he also can't play for the national team anymore right? must be really sad for him honestly.
I was wondering that tbh. I can see arguments either way.. it might be FIFA jurisdiction for example. Could Eriksen play an international in Italy?

He handled Theo like a little bitch he is. Then Theo went to referee to complain " he hurt meee on the jump"

Atalanta is a legit scudetto contender if they win tonight. No joke, they will trash Real Madrid on Tuesday!

Well our season do or not is February til in the middle of March.

Just brutal fixture list. We are in the same boat as them. Atalanta are no mugs anymore. If you trash invincible Bayer 3-0 and win EL you are on discussing list for the next season. Winning a trophy unlocks alot of things.

I didn't knew Scalvini was on the bench. Damn that recovery time is unreal.
